Ah, spring—the season of renewal, rejuvenate, and… home maintenance!
While you’re busy admiring the blossoming flowers and tweeting birds, it’s crucial not to neglect your humble abode. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into some springtime home TLC, shall we?

Air Filters and Vents

Picture this: the spring sun starts to shine brighter and hotter and pretty soon your air conditioner is struggling to keep you cool. Well, it might be time to give those air filters some love! These can be little dust traps with pollen, and other gunk. They can get clogged up faster than a sink full of dishes after Thanksgiving dinner. Fear not! Grab your superhero cape (or just a step stool) and swap out those filters. Your HVAC system will thank you by blowing cool, clean air all season long.

Dryer Vent

Do your clothes seem to take forever to dry, leaving you feeling like you’re stuck in laundry limbo? That’s probably your dryer vent crying out for help! Over time, lint and debris can build up in the vent, turning your laundry room into a potential fire hazard. Take a moment to channel your inner lint warrior and give that vent a good cleaning. Your clothes will thank you by drying faster.

Windows

Ah, the gentle breeze of spring… wait, is that a draft? If you feel colder drafts inside your home than you do outside, it’s time to seal those windows. Grab some weatherstripping or caulking and get to work sealing up those sneaky gaps. Not only will you keep Jack Frost at bay, but you’ll also save some serious cash on your energy bill.

Gutters and Exterior

Spring showers bring… clogged gutters? Yup, you heard that right! Those gutters might be harboring more leaves than a tree in autumn, and it’s up to you to set them free. Grab a ladder (and a buddy for safety) and get to scooping. And while you’re at it, give your home a good hosing down to banish those pesky cobwebs and winter grime. Your house will sparkle like a disco ball at Studio 54!

Bugs

Nothing ruins a springtime picnic or barbecue quite like uninvited guests of the six-legged variety. Take a stand against those creepy crawlies by spraying the perimeter of your home with bug repellent.

With a little elbow grease to clean and clear with a quick checklist, you can conquer those common HVAC and home maintenance issues this weekend.
